They are dealing with some delays in her development related to her living in an orphanage for the first year of her life. It is touching to witness their process of coming to terms and making a plan to address her needs. Read the article she links to in the Wounded post - it’s a kicker.

It's heartbreaking, I just can't think about too much. However, I also know that she was loved deeply by at least one nanny, who apparently took her home with her at times and was a constancy in her life. We've had an extraordinarily smooth transition, which I attribute (at least in part) to those bonds she formed earlier in her life. Most days I would say we're solidly attached, and yet I know we're still working on it, and will be for some time to come.
